The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the way we all work.While many of us are self-isolating or working from home The Institute of Leadership & Management would like to help you use your time wisely and provide critical business support.

The Institute recognises the unprecedented circumstances leaders and managers find themselves in, so have created a suite of bespoke resources to support you through this incredibly challenging time.

Free daily webinar series

We are delivering a series of free, daily webinars to enable you to continue to develop your leadership capability – wherever you are – to lead your business or team through this unprecedented time. Each webinar is built on one of the 49 components of great leadership that we, at The Institute, have identified but relates to the way of working we now found ourselves in.

Every day you will receive advice, insight, tools and techniques on topics varying from how to manage your time when our home and work boundaries have become blurred, to how to be a great team worker in a dispersed team; from managing remote workers, to the importance of self-awareness when leading a remote team you cannot see.

Every webinar is FREE to join and lasts only 30 minutes, and if you miss a webinar you can watch the recording here.

The six-week series focuses on the themes below:  

Week 1 - Working at home: being a better home worker

Week 2 - Being a great colleague: improve those important relationships with your colleagues

Week 3 - Getting used to change: explore the impact, effects and implementation of change.

Week 4 - Staying healthy at work: consider how to ensure that work is good for us

Week 5 - The Role of challenge: when and how to challenge effectively

Week 6 - Being socially responsible: the far-reaching impact of how we manage our organisations

Access to the resources of our multi award-winning e-learning tool MyLeadership

In addition, The Institute is making the resources of our e-learning tool MyLeadership - usually only available to Institute members - available to everyone, for a period of time. Developing your leadership capability could help you survive this crisis.  

After each webinar, you will have access to our expertly curated library of resources to develop your learning further; to access the latest cutting-edge thought leadership on each component and even test your knowledge by taking the relevant component scorecard (a short set of online questions).

Meet the standard and you will receive a digital e-badge to recognise your capability and take with you on your leadership journey, on the other side of Covid-19.
